The German is in hospital in Grenoble in an induced coma since suffering severe head injuries in a skiing accident in Meribel last Sunday. And he states that give respectful to his family and friends in this situation.

Kubica also added that he had faced the same situation when he had a terrible rallying accident in February 2011.

“For all motorsport for sure it’s not the easiest end of last year and beginning of new year.”

“It’s hard news and shows that something can happen every day, when I did my crash in the rally car people said why I am doing this, I shouldn’t do it. He said

“But when you enjoy doing something it’s normal that you want to do it. You can ski easy and a lot of things come together.

“I wish him all the best and definitely keep fingers crossed he will recover and everything will be fine.”
